~={The 6 Pillars of SHAG}=~

The 6 pillars of SHAG:

1) Excessive consumption of alcohol

2) The shirking of all responsibility

3) The Degredation of women and effeminate men

4) More drinking

5) A member of SHAG is free to scratch any itch at anytime, anywhere, free from any repurcussion

6) SHAG members shall not tolerare anything Canadian, save for the 55 pack. Even then, the 55 pack is ONLY tolerated while it's genius is reverse engineered.

In addition to the main pillars of SHAG, we have several subpillars.

1)It is mandatory for stupid and beautiful woman to breed with an ugly and intelligent man. It is our belief in SH@G that making everyone average in both appearance and intelligence will create a race of mediocre beings. Therefore SH@GG3R5 will always be superior(even though they already are) in the generations to come.

However, this does not hold true for SH@GG3R5. We are already, by far, more intelligent and gorgeous then anyone. So we will be able to choose from anyone of the females and do what we want with them. We also have our own island of beautiful but ignorant women that we degrade on our free time.

2) SHAG shall also take it upon ourselves to rid the world of stupid environmental activists, feminists, and mimes.

Also, anyone with a mullet will either be given a medal, or shot on sight, depending on how cool the mullet is.

3) SHAG IS EVERYWHERE. LIKE JESUS ON AN ACID TRIP.

4) Clothing is an instrument of oppression, except when used by ugly people.

5) The channel #FBISHAG on gamesnet is holy ground. If one wishes to submit themselves to SHAG, they must make the pilgrimage to #FBISHAG

6) Because of our oversized and virile genitals, all SHAG faithful must have in their employ an asian midgit to support said gentials at all times. We are too good for petty things like gravity.

GOR is the stated enemy of SHAG. In a fierce battle yesterday between the founding members of GOR and SHAG, SHAG handily defeated GOR.

ZEN, TH or b_c will be around to SH@GF1RM.

SUBMIT TO OUR SUPERIORITY.

Pillars are solid blocks of a single material designed to be an architectural highlight in addition to (or in some cases, instead of) supporting weight.

Columns are put together for the purpose and may be made out of multiple materials. Poured concrete and steel are common. They are always part of the load bearing structure and frequently hidden or disguised so as not to attract attention.

*Edit*
Come to think of it... that's probably just how I use them. I can think of plenty of examples where their use is switched from what I wrote above. There's probably some regionalistic basis for which is used, or used for what most, frequently but the truth is that they're more or less interchangeable.
